Dogs on Metro
Take your dog on the Tyne and Wear Metro.

Tyne and Wear Metro isn’t just for humans – dogs are not only welcome to travel, they also board the Metro free of charge!
If you bring your pooch along for the ride, just make sure you keep them safe:
- Keep your dog on a lead
- Ensure it is under control at all times
- Don’t let them on the Metro seats
- Don’t take your dog on the escalator, use the lift or stairs instead
Please do share photos of your #DogsOnMetro on Instagram and tag @My_Metro.
Did you know dogs can also travel for free on the Shields Ferry? As with travelling on the Metro, they should be kept on a lead and under control at all times.
